Jingxu Temple was bustling today as well. To celebrate Yan Gongli's restoration of her cultivation, Jiang Wen went to Jiangcheng and bought many things. He also returned calls to several acquaintances and friends, and invited Shen Yueshu to the temple.
According to Bai Jing, since Jiang Wen and the others went to Dagan, Shen Yueshu would come to stay for a few days every week. After learning that most of the young women in the temple were white foxes, she wished she could live here every day.
If she wasn't working on her graduation thesis recently, I'm afraid Jingxu Temple would have become her home.
After catching up with Shen Yueshu, Jiang Wen checked on the cultivation progress of Moxiang and Shuxiang. Compared to when he left, the two sisters were now also about to ignite their lamps.
"They haven't been slacking off." Jiang Wen patted Moxiang's little head with satisfaction, making the little girl extremely happy.
Shuxiang looked at Flying Frost and accepted it with both hands. She had seen Flying Frost before and knew it was Jiang Wen's personal magical artifact. She didn't expect Jiang Wen to give it to her, and she was very excited.
"Master, rest assured, this disciple will use it well." Shuxiang looked at Jiang Wen earnestly and bowed.
Jiang Wen nodded and didn't say anything more. He looked at Shen Yueshu and took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and handed it to her.
"I had some opportunities during this trip, and I refined some pills when I had nothing to do. Take them and eat them."
Shen Yueshu's eyes widened as she took the pills. She didn't expect to receive a gift as well. Hearing that the porcelain bottle contained pills, she was overjoyed.
After all, everyone in the Shen family knew that Old Master Shen had become strong and healthy after eating pills from a certain Taoist priest, and all his past illnesses had been cured. Everyone wanted to find such an immortal, but Old Master Shen's mouth was too tight, and no one could dig out any truth from him.
However, Shen Yueshu was not among them. She knew who gave Old Master Shen the pills, but she wouldn't say. The less people who knew about this, the better.
Coming up the mountain today, she didn't expect to get good things for nothing. Shen Yueshu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
You should know that one of Jiang Wen's pills already costs tens of millions on the market, and it is still in a state of being priceless.
"Daoist Jiang, you are really a great person." Shen Yueshu gave Jiang Wen a 'nice guy' card.
Jiang Wen glanced at her and shook his head helplessly.
"You should cultivate to the Innate stage as soon as possible, don't just rely on your glib tongue."
"What do you mean by glib tongue? I've been working hard recently. I've lost ten pounds!"
"Yes, yes, you've really worked hard." Jiang Wen said unhappily.
As the two were talking, the banquet at Jingxu Temple began.
Fortunately, the temple's cafeteria had been renovated and was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. The lively scene was a long time coming, and Jiang Wen enjoyed the meal very much. The little foxes rarely had time to relax, and they were eating and drinking heartily.
After the noise subsided, Jiang Wen and Shen Yueshu walked in the temple. The two looked at the moon in the sky and talked about the situation in the modern world.
"These days, many people with unique skills have appeared. These people are much more capable than ordinary people and can walk on walls. Many accidents have occurred in society, causing the authorities a lot of headaches. Therefore, last month, the authorities established a department specifically to manage these capable people."
"However, these people rely on their skills, and their hearts are very high. Many people don't accept the official arrangements and even fought with the official department. I also got involved in this matter. Those people were just at the level when I first cleansed my marrow…"
Shen Yueshu explained in detail some of the recent developments in the upper echelons, including the official establishment of a special department to manage cultivators.
Because these people have gained extraordinary strength, they often act recklessly. Some people can even avoid bullets from a hundred meters away and can jump three or four meters high, similar to the martial arts masters in TV dramas.
With a sharp weapon in hand, the intention to kill arises. With extraordinary strength, this group of people is very bold. Although the official special department is used to restrain them, they are not very convinced. Therefore, a great battle broke out in Jiangcheng half a month ago, resulting in ten cultivators being killed and dozens of others being arrested. The official side also suffered some casualties, all of whom were ordinary people.
The leaders among them ran fast, relying on their good footwork to slip out of the country. It is also difficult for the authorities to catch them. Once these people leave the country, foreign forces will definitely try their best to protect them.
As for why? This is also because the path of cultivation is currently only spreading domestically, and it is difficult for foreign countries to obtain detailed information. Although the era of transcendence has just begun, everyone knows that as long as you are one step ahead, you will inevitably be ahead step by step. If only the country can cultivate, in a few years, the world's hegemon may lose its position. Therefore, if those few leaders run abroad, foreign forces will inevitably protect them at all costs.
Although the ringleaders who caused trouble were not caught, this battle also cleared up the country. Anyone involved in the path of cultivation will hear about the power of the official special department. Among them, one person single-handedly captured twenty-five troublemaking cultivators.
When everyone heard that the authorities had such powerful people, they all became honest. They didn't dare to cause trouble by force anymore and lived a low-key life on weekdays.
Thinking of the great changes in the world during this period, Jiang Wen was also deeply moved. However, he did not regret spreading the method of cultivation. Since Dagan and the modern world can be connected, all kinds of things beyond the imagination of mortals will naturally happen.
Instead of blocking it alone, it is better to dredge it. This world also needs to change.
"But the official expert you mentioned, wouldn't it be you?" Jiang Wen looked at Shen Yueshu and smiled.
"Of course it's me. Who else is as good at fighting as me?" Shen Yueshu said proudly, and took out her certificate and handed it to Jiang Wen.
"I am now a team leader-level figure. You have to respect me more."
Seeing Shen Yueshu's smug look, Jiang Wen couldn't help but roll his eyes. This girl is good at everything, but her personality is becoming more and more unrestrained.
"Yes, yes, my team leader. Since you are so capable, give me back my pills."
"Ah! No! How can you do this? Things that are given away, how can they be taken back?" Shen Yueshu said indignantly.
"You are already a backbone of the officialdom, there is no need to covet this poor Taoist's things. Don't you think so, Captain?"
"Hey, don't! I'm kidding! Daoist, immortal, temple master. I was wrong."
Shen Yueshu's voice of begging for mercy came, and the Jingxu Temple became more and more lively with laughter.
